Automations

Notifications via SMS have been deprecated in version 9.4.5 and will not be supported in future Data Management releases.

Automations are Data Management "meta-projects" that use stepwise execution to integrate Data Management projects with other steps such as executing external programs, waiting for user review, transferring files via FTP, and determining the format of a file. They employ success/failure logic for error handling and can send notifications to operators via email or SMS. Automations can loop over files and sets of values, and they have broad support for variables and parameters. They automatically support checkpoint and restart, so that if any steps fail in a multi-step procedure, only the failed steps need be restarted.

The repository's Samples folder contains sample automation projects that demonstrate problem-solving using automations.
